To investigate the effect of magnesium oxide addition, $Cu/ZnO/MgO/Al_2O_3$ (CZMA) catalysts were prepared using co-precipitation method with fixed molar ratio of Cu/Zn/Mg/Al as 45/45/5/5 mol% for low-temperature water gas shift reaction. Synthesized catalysts were characterized by using BET, $N_2O$ chemisorption, XRD, $H_2-TPR$ and $NH_3-TPD$ analysis. The catalytic activity tests were carried out at a GHSV of $28,000h^{-1}$ and a temperature range of $200{\sim}320^{\circ}C$. At the same condition, magnesium oxide added catalyst (CZMA 400) showed that the lowest reduction temperature and stable presence of $Cu^+$, that is active species and abundant weak acid site. Also magnesium oxide added catalysts (CZMA) showed higher catalytic activity at temperature range above $240^{\circ}C$ than the catalyst without magnesium oxide (CZA). Consequently, CZMA 400 catalyst is considered to be excellent catalyst showing CO conversion of 77.59% without deactivation for about 75 hours at $240^{\circ}C$, GHSV $28,000h^{-1}$.

In this study, intermediate thermo-mechanical treated Al-2.0 wt%Li, and Al-2.0 wt%Li-1.2 wt%Cu-1.0 wt%Mg-0.12 wt%Zr alloys were tested in tension at $10^{\circ}C$ and elevated temperature(100, 200 and $300^{\circ}C$). The results are follows : The tensile strength of Al-Li-Cu-Mg-Zr alloy is the highest but the elongation of Al-Li alloy is the highest(106%) among the all alloys in tension at $300^{\circ}C$. The Portervin-LeChartlier effect is showed in AI-Li-Cu-Mg-Zr alloy at 10 and $100^{\circ}C$, because of tangled dislocation by Mg and Cu. In the true stress-strain curves of all alloy, the peaks of stress at $300^{\circ}C$ are showed at the strain less than 0.1. In the binary alloy, the dynamic restoration process at 200 and $300^{\circ}C$ is nearly similar to dynamic recovery type. The hot deformation stress is decreased with increase of dynamic recovery degree, but the elongation is increased. When the strain the strain rate are constant, the temperature dependence of hot deformation stress is increased with increase of deformation temperature. The elongation and degree of dynamic recovery are decreased with increase of hot deformation activation energy, but the deformation stresses slightly increased.

Large insoluble phases and dispersoids in Al-Li-Cu-Mg-Mn-Zr alloys containing Mn were analyzed with EPMA(Electron Probe Microanalyzer) and SAEM(Scanning Auger Electron Microscope). Morphology, distribution and volume fraction of the large insoluble phase were also analyzed quantitatively by optical microscopy. Mechanical properties were tested at room temperature and at $200^{\circ}C$. With increasing Mn contents, the volume fraction of the large insoluble phases increased steeply, thus decreasing ductility. Mn was found to be very effective for obtaing uniformly distributed fine-grain structures. The alloy containing 0.44 wt% Mn showed the highest tensile strength among Mn-bearing alloys tested.

The relationship between precipitation and coefficient of thermal expansion of Al-6%Si-0.4%Mg-0.9%Cu-(Ti) alloy (in wt.%) after various heat treatments were studied by the thermodynamic analyzer (TMA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Solution heat treatment of the alloy was carried out at 535℃ for 6 h followed by water quenching, and the samples were artificially aged in the air at 180℃ and 220℃ for 5 h. The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) curve showed some residual strain and decreased with increasing aging temperature. The CTE curves changed sharply in the temperature range of 200℃ to 400℃, and the corresponding peak shifted for the aged samples due to the change in the precipitation behavior of the secondary phase. These transformation peaks in the aged sample are related to the volume of the precipitation of the Si phase as determined by DSC analysis. The change in CTE is mainly caused by the precipitation of the Si phase in the Al-Si alloy, and the size of the change occurs simultaneously with the size of the precipitate.

In this study the changes of the hardness and microstructures during aging at 120$^{\cire}C$ of an RS-P/M Al-5.6wt%Zn-2.0wt%Mg-1.3wt%Zr-1.0wt%Mn-0.25wt%Cu alloy were studied using a transmission electron microscopy. The hardness increased rapidly at early stage of aging and reached the maximun when the specimen was aged for 24 hr. The many irregular-shaped $Al_4Mn$ and rod-shaped $Al_6Mn$ dispersoids with 0.1-0.4 $\mu$m in length were observed in the as-extruded alloy. The dark particles with 2-3 nm in size were observed in aged specimen for 5hr and those are thought to be G.P.zones or precursor of $\eta'$ precipitates. In aged specimen for 24 hr, the $\eta'$ phases were distributed homogeneously within the matrix and the PFZ with 30-40 nm in width was observed along the grain boundary. With further aging, the width of PFZ increased and $\eta$ phases were also detected within the matrix.

The iterative wave-function reconstruction (IWFR) method developed by Allen et al. (2004) was reviewed with concern for its applicability. The high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) studies of the materials such as GaAs, $YBa_2Cu_3O_7$ and $Al_2CuMg$ reported in the literature were utilized in this review. In this process the basis of validity, the limiting conditions and the information limit of this method were discussed. It was particularly noted that the phase contrast image of the exit plane wave evaluated from this method reveals not only $C_s$-corrected atomic resolution within information limit, but also strong tendency of contrast proportional to the magnitude of the atomic number of compositional atoms in a crystal.

In order to investigate the effect of water treatment on activity of WGS catalyst, $Cu/ZnO/MgO/Al_2O_3$ (CZMA) catalysts were synthesized by co-precipitation method. The prepared catalysts were water-treated at two different temperature (250, $350^{\circ}C$). Synthesized catalysts were characterized by using BET, SEM, $N_2O$ chemisorption, XRD, $H_2-TPR$ and XPS analysis. The catalytic activity tests were carried out at a GHSV of $28,000h^{-1}$ and a temperature range of $180-320^{\circ}C$. The reduction temperature decreased with water treatment and CZMA_250 catalyst showed the lowest reduction temperature and retained a large amount of $Cu^+$. Water-treated catalysts showed increased reactivity compared to untreated catalyst and the CZMA_250 catalyst showed higher catalytic activity on WGS reaction.

Dilute Al-Cu and Al-Mg alloys were solidified unidirectionally upward by Bridgman method. It is necessary that solute concentration of initial melt is uniform to be able to control the concentration of crystal. When solute concentration is not uniform, it can cause unusual macro-segregation in grown solid. A non-steady state solidification was observed where the solute concentration in the grown solid decreased with the progress of solidification, when a dilute Al-Cu melt with positive axial temeprature gradient was solidified. This was caused by leaking out of Cu-rich melt into the gap between ingot and crucible during melt-down and its sedimentation after complete melting. In the case of Al-Mg alloy, the solute concentration has a minimum in the middle of grown specimen because Mg-rich melt flowed down the gap between ingot and crucible and floated after complete melting. Uniform initial melt concentration can be achieved by the homogenization of the ingot or by the absence of the gap between ingot and crucible.

The Effects of 0~9% stretching on the microstructure and mechanical properties have been investigated in Al-Li-Cu-Mg alloys. Stretching made T$_1$(Al$_2$CuLi) precipitates finer and more uniform, however, had no effect on the size of $\delta$'. The number of sheared $\delta$'precipitates distributed in the matrix were reduced. The 6% stretching improved the yield strength of the alloys aged at 15$0^{\circ}C$ for 120 hours from 328~342 MPa to 466~488MPa, however, decreased the elongation from 9.7~10.4% to 5.7%.
